text: Remote<p>Looking for someone to help build some industrial-strength outlook add-ins. For $REASONS, we are tied to MS365, but would like to add some functionality for our unique workflows.<p>I have a some experience doing VBA in Excel, so am afraid of ending up with a flaky solution. The freelancer we are looking for should have past experience delivering highly robust add-ins for mission-critical apps. We have a rough sense of what we&#x27;d like to build (a few different pieces built out in stages), but given lack of familiarity with the platform, we&#x27;ll need someone who can help us figure out what is feasible vs. not, what will be performant vs. not, and what will be robust vs. not.<p>If that is you, shoot me a note at hnf@inc-query.com. Please include a short description of past add-ins you&#x27;ve worked on.<p>I realize this might be a lightning rod for low-skill applications, but we&#x27;re really looking for A1 work here. I&#x27;m a developer myself so would prefer to deal directly with programmers, not agencies.
